no it should not be like that.

the whole idea of sovereign independent nations that can exist isolated from each other is something that needs to go away. there should be free movement for everyone unless they are known criminals (in which case they should be in prison). people moving for economic reasons should be stopped by removing those reason (create better living conditions where they are). and everyone else should be free to move.

my family is now spread over three continents and as many nationalities. none of us have the freedom to move around to come together where we want. it's ridiculous.

national borders need to be removed. freedom to travel needs to be established and permission to settle should only be denied if someone isn't able to sustain themselves in the new area.
